A guide to health care payment terms
Let's face it. Health plans can be confusing, especially when it comes to figuring out what you need to pay for care. Here are three terms that may apply to your health plan.
Let's face it. Health plans can be confusing, especially when it comes to figuring out what you need to pay for care. Here are three terms that may apply to your health plan.
- Deductible. This is the amount you pay for covered care before your health plan starts to pay. Many plans have a yearly deductible. For example, if your plan has a $2,000 yearly deductible, you may need to pay $2,000 before your plan pays any expenses.*
- Co-pay. This is the set dollar amount you pay for covered health care services. For example, you pay a set dollar amount to your doctor for an office visit. If your co-pay is $40, you pay that amount when you see your doctor. If your plan has a co-pay, you would typically pay it after you pay your deductible limit. In a pharmacy plan, the co-pay is the amount you pay for covered drugs.*
- Co-insurance. This is the percentage of health care expenses you need to pay after you reach your deductible limit. For example, if your co-insurance is 80 percent, your plan will cover 80 percent of eligible costs up to any benefit or lifetime maximum. You would pay 20 percent.*
